Group 1 - The "Ning Electric into Hunan" project is China's first approved ultra-high voltage transmission channel primarily for renewable energy, spanning 1616 kilometers from Ningxia to Hunan [1] - The project has a total installed capacity of 17.64 million kilowatts, with over 70% coming from renewable sources, setting a new record for similar projects [1] - The project is expected to replace approximately 6 million tons of standard coal annually in Hunan, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 18 million tons, equivalent to the annual absorption of 1 billion trees [1] Group 2 - The project began trial operation in June 2023, maintaining a high power output of over 3 million kilowatts during the summer, which is nearly 10% of Hunan's peak load [2] - Once fully operational, the project will have a maximum transmission capacity of 8 million kilowatts, delivering between 36 billion to 40 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually to Hunan [2] - Hunan's total electricity consumption is projected to reach 237.4 billion kilowatt-hours in 2024, with external electricity accounting for 22.7% of the total, which is expected to rise to nearly 30% with the new project [2] Group 3 - The Hunan delegation has submitted proposals to support major energy projects, including the "Ning Electric into Hunan" and "Xinjiang Electric into Hunan" projects, as part of the national energy development plan [3] - The proposals emphasize the need for additional external electricity channels to address Hunan's energy supply challenges, aiming for external electricity to exceed 40% in the future [3]
